Figure 2

Fire extent in the southern Blue Mountains shown as the number of sites (13 total) recording fire (maximum = 8, minimum = 0) in each year between 1650 and 2015. The earliest recorded was in the year 1278, but fires before 1650 are not shown because many sites recorded few fires before 1650 due to a lack of older trees. Fire years above the dashed horizontal line burned more than three sites.
